TL;DR: It is concluded that the stochastic gravitational-wave background from binary black holes, created from the incoherent superposition of all the merging binaries in the Universe, is potentially measurable by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors operating at their projected final sensitivity.

TL;DR: In this article, a stream-based analysis pipeline was proposed to detect gravitational waves from the merger of binary neutron stars, binary black holes, and neutron-star-black-hole binaries within ∼1 min of the arrival of the merger signal at Earth.

TL;DR: This work performs a search for the isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background using data from Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory's (aLIGO) first observing run, and constrain the dimensionless energy density of gravitational waves to be Ω_{0}<1.7×10^{-7} with 95% confidence.
